Decided to rebuild my existing tank and go for SPS.

Also take this opportunity to upsize the sump and put in another small tank for my little princess.

My old tank. In process of tearing down. Messy... really messy...

hope the hood is not fully close up else the lights will rust faster due to humid area... there is very little working space after installing the light from the top. considering no nusiance waves from top view could hv done a low profile hood from the top instead? since u already hv beams on top. hope the left side of round window cabinet hv a door,else great difficulty cleaning the sump display glass..

Hi bro clement_jr, actually i discussed with tank maker before build. I choose to build the complete base cabinet at workshop and remove the window grill for access instead of build on site.
